Engineers....gotta love 'em, but you gotta get them away from somethings machanical.
You can go from here, and not make this mistake again. But give him a big hug and don't tell him he screwed it up if you want to stay happy with him. :)

LOL, I agree with you alika....
Suggest you quietly take your machine to the "machine clinic" and have them give it the once over. Save yourself the frustration of trying to do it yourself. By no means do you tell hubby (unless you're one of THOSE wives) :>). You know the ones I mean, just can't keep anything from DH.

My DH took my brother apart to oil and clean like my Kenmores well long story short the repair man was very nice and put it back together right and said that Brother machines don't need oiling and it would be cheaper to let him clean it yearly. Cost us $50. that time. Lesson learned but not all DH's fault I asked him to do it. Maybe if your lucky from trying all that thread to get the oil out maybe some thread caught inside. Good luck. sue
